Default Well I did it, New Wheels

I ordered my new wheels today from Wheels Boutique, I want to thank everyone for their advice. I ended up with HRE 574R 19's (polished) Ben was a great help and gave me what I believe was a good deal. enclosed is a picture of the wheels on a 996TT. These wheels are massive the rears are 315-25-19 (alittle beef) Unfortunatly I won't see them of 30-40 days.

Default They said they do it all the time

I asked the same thing. My car is also lowered, so it will be interesting when I get them on. Oh and yes there will be pictures taken

Mike - those wheels are so hot, they make your car look like a totally different color... oh, wait, that's not really your.... that pic was just an example.... now I get it!

Seriously, nice wheels. We are going to need a LOT of pics once you get them mounted.

315s do fit on a C4S, I've got that size on my car

With lowered car you may have to roll the rear fenders, but if its stiffer as well as lower, you should be fine... I'll find out this summer with some proper G loads at the track

Oh, and shiny wheels!

The wheels look great, but the color on that TT's got to go!

I had the HRE 441R on my E36 M3.
30-40 days, LOL, ya right, more like 45-60 days thats if you are lucky. It took me 10 weeks to get mine.

WATCH OUT FOR THE REVERSE DROP LIP:
When driving in the rain, the wheels trap water inside them and the water acts like a counter balance. The wheels jump around like they were never balanced (60mph and up)
